FULL TITLE: THE JOURNEY TO AT SUCCESS: FROM CONSIDERATION TO IMPLEMENTATION******************
WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This session is designed for SLPs, OTs, Gen Ed Teachers, Sp Ed Teachers, Assistive Technology Specialists, Technology Integrators, CST members, Directors, Special Services ******************
WHAT IT IS? Assistive Technology consideration must be more than a checkbox on an IEP and buying the latest app. But what does it mean? What process does your team use to “consider” AT? Do you have a formal process? This session will explore Assistive Technology from start to finish: Consideration to Implementation. Participants will evaluate their organization’s process and develop an action plan for effective consideration of assistive technology. Once technology has been identified, the process is not complete! In fact, we are only halfway to success. Successful implementation strategies will be identified to include trial periods, roles and responsibilities and planning for follow up.
Bring any policies / procedures you currently use - there will be opportunities to share and learn from others. Whatever your role on the team - Case Manager, Therapist, Teacher, Director of Special Services - we can all make a difference to break the cycle of mismatched technology and device abandonment. Through activities and collegial sharing, participants will leave will concrete steps to take in their organization to effectively meet the diverse needs of all students and enhance learning.
